dear @LinkedIn you keep using "notifications" to spam me! as a result, i treat these notifications as pure junk. just a heads up.

My horizons have been expanded. My head has been exploded. I’m not sure if the world is a better or worse place now...

@youtube for the LOVE OF GOD please let me filter out the videos i have already watched! i waste sooo much time picking through content i've already seen! in case your engineering team needs any help:

videos.filter(video => video.watched === false);

4 years ago today i made six predictions about the trump presidency. i am happy to say that i was wrong about infant mortality, which has declined. that said, i had no idea how awful and scary this period would be. i am optimistic that things are getting better.

[Robert Harris @trebor]

my 6️⃣ predictions for the @realdonaldtrump presidency. spoiler alert: short term solutions to all problems. i #hope to be entirely wrong.

@HawleyMO @simonschuster this isn't orwellian - the government isn't limiting your speech. this is capitalism, a corporation measured the value of its reputation against the profit from your book and made a sound business decision. free markets for the win.

@TeamYouTube done! should i hold my breath? :)

[Robert Harris @trebor]

@youtubemusic i'd love an exploratory radio station that plays music unknown to me, and NOT yet-another "what's new" or "what's popular" list. there is a whole world of OLD and new music out there i don't know about but would like. help me find it!

Working on making posters... which one do you like most?

[Robert Harris @trebor]

@sesteva sadly not. i built it as an observable notebook:

it is possible to use notebook code in other projects using methods like this:

but that is clearly not as clean and tidy as an npm module.

@recoiljs i was having a look at this. useRecoilTransactionObserver would allow me to push changed values into the URL params, but i can't see how i would then pull those values out and put them into my state. any guidance on that?

[Robert Harris @trebor]

i have been loving @recoiljs. i made a general-purpose url parameter tool meant to behave like a recoil atom. so far it seems to be working nicely. but... how is it going to bite me in the ass? :)
